In fact, the 808.2, if indeed it is as advertised, won't be the first CDP that "showed what could be done" with CD.
In my experience with relatively expensive equipment, especially CD players, only a rare few have met my expectations regarding hi-end sound quality. That said, the same can be said for much of the SACD players I've heard ... so ...
Anyway, until I hear otherwise, I stand pat ... BTW ... have you heard the 808.2 compared to the EMM, or other expensive SACD players?
